  VECTRA(LCP)


Top Raw material/Polymerization Characteristics History Applications

The liquid crystal polymer VECTRA has a unique structure and performance unthought of in traditional plastics. The Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polyester is commonly known as LCP.
Besides possessing a mechanical strength in an entirely different class, LCP has a unique attribute in that the thinner the product becomes, the greater the mechanical strength. Moreover, it has a linear expansion coefficient close to that of metal. In addition, despite its high elastic modulus, another trait is that LCP possesses superion vibration absorbing properties.
As an engineering plastic that transcends the common wisdom of traditional engineering plastics and approaches steel, VECTRA can be said to be the epitome of next-generation advanced engineering plastics. Making full use of its mechanical properties in AV and OA equipment components, its vibration-absorbing characteristics in application such as CD pickups in IT and audio equipment, and its solder heat resistance in SMT components, application development is proceeding rapidly.
